Welcome from upstate NY!
I hope your jelly roll turns out better than mine. I opened it up today to find that it was not cut very accurately, so instead of saving time it will actually take more time to correct the strips. If our Joann's wasn't so far away I would have returned the rolls. I say this because as a new quilter I wouldn't want you to start off with a bad roll and get disappointed in quilting. This is a great group! Dee
